Just to be clear, he's in a Reserve sq. The AD sqs only have 1 or 2 Lt Cols

I think the majority of the complaints originate from the spouse, particularly the ones who haven't made friends at the husband's new duty station. A wife who spends most of the day alone/with kids while the husband is gone will start hating life no matter the location. That's why the spouses' club is so important for the health of a squadron.

Apparently the direct injection allows for this, even though the turbos are pushing 12psi. The fuel and air aren't mixed until they're in the chamber, so there's less chance of knocking. Pretty sweet.

I'm not sure if the current generation of turbocharged aluminum DOHC truck engines will be as reliable as the old cast iron OHV V-8s.

I heard that Dhafra just broke ground on a Five Guys. It's over there behind the RLBs.

You can also Velcro the sleeve ends together after you've tied them in a knot to prevent them comng undone.

Are you writing this shit down, 17D?

While trying to log into Leaveweb just now, I received an error called a "GCSS-AF Failover". Sounds about right.

Dude that's probably one of the best Lt stories I've seen. That was the definition of 'going big'. And from a PA officer, no less. Well done!

Ha, that's great. Later on it talks about how the Program Manager for the one of the failed digital conversion projects was an English Lit major. By his own admission he didn't understand what the contractor was even doing.

Park it by the squadron. Best Squadron Bar ever!

Here's the problem Vertigo, the radical Muslims trying to establish a Caliphate aren't simply looking to be left alone to live life as they see fit. They want the rest of us, as varied and diverse as we are, to be assimilated completely into their way of life. If they had their way, the Islam police would be rolling down every street in the world enforcing their interpretation of the Koran. They're against multiculturalism more than anyone here.

So...are you saying someone did or did not put their hoohah in one of your orifices?

I propose a Foreign Exclusion Zone encompassing Syria, Iraq, Iran, Aghanistan, and Pakistan. It'll essentially be a regional cage match bounded by well armed countries that (more or less) have their shit together like Jordan, Israel, KSA, Oman, India, and the former USSR. No one is allowed in or out of the FEZ. Then the Shia, Sunnis, Kurds, Pashtuns, Persians, Pakistanis et al sort it out. Sykes-Picot is out the window and the belligerents redraw their own borders. The extremists want to start suicide bombing? It's up to the local populace to crush their nuts. Pakistan wants to nuke everyone? Go for it, it's on them. Once the new borders reach some sort of equilibrium and show they can behave like 20th century nations, they are welcome back into the global community.

GE noise=freedom, then.

I've been to a few veterans' cemeteries, including Arlington, and noted how uniform the headstones were regardless of rank or stature. Of course, Presidents or generals like Grant or Lee have bigger monuments, but the majority are intermixed with everyone else. Examples: https://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jjpersh.jpg https://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/display/31054ea2-1cb4-43f8-b984-c95882ba061f.JPG https://image2.findagrave.com/photos250/photos/2001/222/arnoldhenry.jpg https://www.doolittleraider.com/images/DOOLITTLEJAMESH.jpg It was just an observation, and not a political one.

All the headstones at Arlington are the same size. Just saying.

And that's why you'll never be a general!

Has anyone at McGuire wondered out loud why the Travis guys aren't trying to go east anymore? That place sounds terrible.

This is valid. A torn ACL could keep a dude from serving, but I guess punch a hole in his eardrums and he's good to go. There's also no reason deaf guys couldn't just work as GSA/contractors.

Oh my, they changed his push line to MAJCOM staff, the horror. We are seriously retarded when we are still inserting secret push line code words into a referral OPR.

Why start now? The people still have a Middle Ages "oppress me" mentality.

At least you could wear your American flag patch during that hardship tour.

By including real estate prices in the index they've eliminated all of the places that the rest of the country actually want to live.

We'll never be able to kill every member of al Qaeda, why try at all? We'll never stop all the highway accidents, why even have a speed limit? We'll never win the championship this year, why bother playing any of the games? Not building a fence because "some will still get through" is a logical fallacy.
